City-smart snow response
City winters in Ely, Minnesota demand precision: we plow clean lines, shovel every entry, and salt smart so shoppers and commuters stay safe.
We pre-plan alleys, loading zones, and curbside parking so nothing is blocked.
Our culture is built on respect: clear communication with owners, careful edges near glass and landscaping, and quiet equipment choices for early morning pushes. We document every visit with photos and timestamps so you can show tenants, insurers, and city inspectors that you acted fast and kept public paths safe.
We greet tenants and managers with quick updates, not loud engines.
GPS dispatch plus before-and-after photos.
Fully insured crews with background checks and ID badges.
We pre-treat when temps drop, then sweep again after the storm to stop refreeze.
Hand shoveling, broom finish, and pet-safe melt where needed.
Tight-turn plowing for townhomes and condos.
Docks, freight corridors, and alley access cleared early.
Pre-treat high-traffic zones, then targeted melt for black-ice patches.
We run quiet where we can, move quickly where we must, and always finish with clean edges and clear entrances. When ice threatens, we adjust blends; when plows push windrows onto your curb, we return to reopen; when temps swing, we sweep again so overnight refreeze does not surprise early commuters.
